Circe

I'm not going to lie it felt like a struggle to get through the first half of the book as it was quite slow paced but I really enjoyed the second half and didn't want to put it down after.

I loved the The Song of Achilles and it made me so happy to read references of it made in this book. I have always appreciated and loved Greek mythology so that's an immediate plus for me.

You can't help but feel sorry for Circe. All she wanted was to love and be loved. She was such a strong character for me. The entire time reading this I was just hoping for her happy ending.

I think the most important thing to do before going into reading this book is to not compare it to The Song of Achilles because they are in no way similar.

I really enjoyed this.
